I think you are missing the point.

The mechanic is not for the L to make this call. No mention of who has a better look and who might see the entire play. The T is the only one (or C) to make the call on the last second shot. You should not be signaling anything at all in this situation. Now, if you have talked over the situation, then you might discuss who might have what if "this situation" takes place. But you did not do that. You just made a decision and did not confirm it with your partner. That is really bad business. And if he needed help, you can give it, but it looks really bad to have two different signals on such a vitale situation. And that is not an over reaction to make that clear. The mechanics are clear, but there are alway exceptions. If you are going to do something not listed, you better make sure your partner and you agree 100% before you do something different.

Now what I always say in pregame, if the official that has the call needs help, then ask for it. But let them live and die with the call.

Peace
